We have identified a potential advertising ID policy violation with your app(s)

Great! Glad you got it resolved!

Hi guys, I’ve got the same issue.  I use Inner-active for my ads, and everything has been fine until now.  I’m using Starter v2014.2393.  I’ve rebuilt my apps and redeployed them a week ago, but still the warning message remains.  Please help!

"We have identified a potential advertising ID policy violation with your app(s). "

i have update about 15 of my apps now 

the waring goes away when the new version is relased to the store (after the cache is relased about 5-6hours)

i hade problem with one of them 

but after moving to google payment API 3.0 (dont know the exact name) also this app got cleard of the warning 

so in short if the warning is not gone after ~10hours after your update something is wrong 

sorry for the bad english :wink:

 

Thanks Jedi, but I’m still having the issue - even after recompiling.  Is there someone from Corona who can help with this question please?

Hi @will_fourie,

Can you please list all of the plugins that you’re using? Or better yet, post the contents of your build.settings file?

Thanks,

Brent

Thanks Brent!  This is what my build.settings file looks like.  

settings =

{

android =

{

 usesPermissions =

 {

“android.permission.INTERNET”,

“android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE”,

“android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE”,

 },

versionCode = “3”,

versionName = “1.2”

},

– plugins =

– {

– -- key is the name passed to Lua’s ‘require()’

– [“CoronaProvider.ads.admob”] =

– {

– -- required

– publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,

– },

– }, 

    plugins =

    {

        – key is the name passed to Lua’s ‘require()’

        [“CoronaProvider.ads.inneractive”] =

        {

            – required

            publisherId = “com.inner-active”,

        },

    }, 

orientation =

{

default = “landscapeRight”,

},

}

Hi @will_fourie,

So it appears that the only plugin you’re using is Inneractive? It’s possible that their plugin has not been updated to account for various changes on the Google side (acceptance of apps). Can you attempt to contact them and ask if anything has changed in their overall SDK which would relate to the Corona plugin as well?

Thanks,

Brent

I have a question - did anyone get notifications on apps that were unpublished? If so, did you not take action? If so, did they eventually remove the app, or what happened?

I can understand flagging apps that are live, but they are also going through and flagging some that have been unpublished which is quite annoying.

I had apps that didnt even contain the inneractive reference flagged  and where unpublished.

I just uploaded an empty apk with just the bare bones to get it to build, published it for 5 seconds and unpublished it.

Within 24 hours the warning had gone.

i got the same message
corona whats the fix ? 

i re-compiled with 1202 seems to have fixed the issue.

I received a notice the other day regarding this - recompiled with a later version of the SDK and the violation notice is still there. These apps were paid, and don’t have ads in them.

What is the advertising ID they are referring to, or what is this notice about?

Hey JBean, I think Google play does not check it upon app submission. I think they have a bot that checks it from time to time, but this is just my guess. Because when I recompiled with 1202 the notification still shows up on the dashboard then after a couple of hours it disappeared.

hope this helps.

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification - so if I just leave it published for a few hours, it should disappear then? I’ll try that out with one of the apps to see if it works :slight_smile:

i did a update 1-2 days ago
still same warning build 2014.2438

Hmm, blomjens1, I wonder what fixed it for me for build 1202.

it may be like this 

my new update is on higer android version = customer with a lower version of android will not get a update = still a version on cutomers phone that is not ok 

Jbean please keep us updated if you version is ok 
thanks!

My version is still showing the flag on one of the apps and it’s been over 2 hours since I published the new APK so it has not worked! Corona, do we have a solution to this problem?

I used build 2407

give it a some more time :slight_smile:

I have a feeling they aren’t going to change, and for one of the apps it’s been 3 hours - what really sucks is if you unpublished the app, the notice still won’t disappear.

How much time will it take to update in the system do you think?
